    Tried it with VPN, couldn't get Egyptian price to load and "country location" error.

    I've had an Argentine proxy enabled for YouTube.com for probably 2 months now, but I also just got the email saying the game is up after 4 years, so it's purely down to the country of the VISA/Mastercard used to pay and nothing to do with IP addresses. They seem to be cracking down in waves.

    I use PIA and the price in Egypt for the family was £85 which is about €1.60.

    It seems hit and miss what happens but might not be all over yet. Around a year ago (whenever the law in India changed)I got similar message and spent most of a weekend trying to update everything/find virtual card/ look for vouchers all to no avail and was ready to give up but when the time came the money was taken from the original card (Revolut if it matters). Still going fine after several years, might be an issue when the card expires. I have 2 payment profiles on my account one for Ireland and one for India open to correction on the exact term)- I can't remember how I set up the profiles but it was a long time ago.

    YouTube Premium memberships based in Argentina require a form of payment issued in Argentina.

    To maintain your membership, please update your form of payment to one issued in Argentina before 5 December 2024. If you do not update your form of payment, your membership will not renew automatically and you will lose access to your YouTube Premium benefits.

    Crap

    Indian account here. Just got that email.

    Booo.

    just a reminder that Poland works flawlessly. Once your sub ends….

    VPN on.
    Go to your subscriptions/purchases

    select option to renew

    You will see price of 46 plz (just over a tenner) for family plan

    I used my existing Revolut card

    Processed immediately. I was using VPN unlimited and it wouldn’t allow Romania, Mexico, Egypt amongst others. Likely down to the vpn; perhaps an alternative, nord for example, might give different result, but I’m happy with the price for a full group.

    The fact it’s EU proper just might also allow for a good run and avoid us paying €26 p/mth, not that I would be if it came to that.

    Thats great I may get the missus to subscribe on her polish card. Got the email from India last night too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,009 ✭✭✭corcaigh07


    Got the dreaded email for Turkey this morning, d day 5th of December (seems to be a big clean up that day).

    Gonna leave it run until the last day and assess from there, maybe the Revolut details will still push through (hopeful I know).

    Another email here from Turkey. Will let it run and see what happens. The kids might have to put up with ads from now on!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 150 ✭✭Novfith


    Email about Pakistan also :(



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,475 ✭✭✭BobbyT28


    Got the email this morning, Ghana Sub for past 6 months!! Have a pain in me hole with VPNs and trying multiple VPNs and countries. Tried Poland and was setup without a hitch in a matter of mins. €5.95 for individual I’m happy out although, €1.59 from Ghana was nice I’ve benefited from cheap YT premium for the past number of years so I can swallow €5.95.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 150 ✭✭Novfith


    I had the family (up to 5 other accounts) for like 3 euro a month. A disaster.

    Need to find another cheap country if I can.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 518 ✭✭✭Griffinx


    Does it work if I just add a Polish account to my Irish Revolut?



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 3,952 Mod ✭✭✭✭eeloe


    Got the Argentina email last night, absolutely heartbroken.

    There isn't a hope in hell i'm going to be paying 26pm. they can shove it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 391 ✭✭Helium

    Has there been any talk of Youtube/Google closing accounts which have "moved" from one country to another???

    Kinda wary of "moving" country, don't want to lose my Google account with my emails and photos etc. I suppose I can use a spare account I've had since college days but I've to move all my playlists over (not the end of the world, I know).



  • Administrators, Business & Finance Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 17,003 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Toots


    Is it just yourself using it? I’m on a family plan and thinking of setting up a new account as the “head” of the family and just adding myself, husband and kids as the family members so if that account gets closed, hopefully the rest of us should be ok.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 3,889 ✭✭✭Nigzcurran


    They will not close any Google accounts

    Time is contagious, everybody's getting old.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 849 ✭✭✭maik3n


    That's what I did in the end.
    I set up a brand new burner gmail account, created a new family group and added my my old gmail address with my expired YT premium sub.
    I added my other family members too of course, lol. I then purchased a YT premium sub with a vpn and revolut.
    This way my old gmail YT premium sub account stays safe.

    That time we got the email from India was about the payment method and how it was processed. It wasn't an email saying you've lost YouTube, as your payment method didn't match the country.

    "This is a reminder from Google to inform you that by September 30, 2022, Google must delete your existing debit or credit card information due to new Reserve Bank of India card storage regulations.

    If you still plan to use your Visa card ending in 4237 for transactions with YouTube or other Google products, how you use your card may change.

    To continue using the same Visa card to make payments with Google after September 30, 2022, without having to re-enter your card details, you must save your card details by using it to make a payment manually before September 30, 2022. If you don't do so, your card will no longer appear in your account, and you'll have to re-enter your card details to use it again."

    just got premium back via khazakstan

    Cyber ghost vpn is free for 24 hours and worked, used an address generator and sorted.

    They have Romania on cyber ghost but for some reason it’s going to Australia so don’t sign up using that location
